Another tilted mold during cure. Probably 1.4" thick at top left, 1/16" thich at bottom right.. Base color for #22.

At 1/8" thick you can see the bright spots where the light bulbs are when holding it up to the light.

3oz Mr. Fiberglass Clear Casting Resin
12 drops Art Stuf Burgandy Resin Dye
0.25tsp Art Stuf Pearl White
15 drops of MEKP

The pearl white almost looks like silver floating on the red. Barely distinct translucent- you can kindof tell where the light bulbs are when you hold up the 1/8" sample to the light.

Aiming for a darker version of #3, but to my eye this looks almost identical despite 50% more dye. Base for #26

18 drops Art Stuf Purple Resin Dye
0.25tsp Art Stuf Pearl White
15 drops of MEKP

Comments

Much closer to purple instead of lavender like earlier recipes, mostly due to less pearl white. Translucent enough to distinctly see the bulbs when held up to the light.

15 drops Art Stuf Scarlet Resin Dye

Base for #28.

Recipe #28:
3oz Mr. Fiberglass Clear Casting Resin
14 drops Art Stuf Scarlet Resin Dye
1/8tsp Art Stuf Sparkle Gold
15 drops of MEKP
Comments

Trying for a candy apple red, but the gold added enough yellow to push this to an orange. With the small amount of pigment, a 1/8" piece is transparent enough to really see (not just tell where they are) the bubs when held up to the light.

Recipe #29:
3oz Mr. Fiberglass Clear Casting Resin
18 drops Art Stuf Blue Resin Dye
15 drops of MEKP

Nice look with the pearl, but still translucent at 1/8".

16 drops Art Stuf Ruby Red Resin Dye

Just pulled this off when mixing #32 to have sample halfway between #19 and #31. Held up the light, I can see the difference between #31 and #32, but it's subtle.

Second try at a candy apple red, and I think this one came out pretty good. Essentially transparent at 1/8", but looks great in a 5/8" block.
